Hi everyone!

I finally started to get better towards the middle of this week, which took long enough. Right now, I've only got dry coughing to worry about, and that's not even nearly enough to keep me away from work. On the other hand, since I only got better towards the middle of the week, I didn't get a massive amount of work done this time either. Still, I managed to wrap up all the base images and animation for Primrose that are not new, and I'm now beginning to add the new ones.

Primrose actually turned out to be quite a bit more straightforward than Evelyn. The new animations will still require a fair amount of work, to be sure, but there are no cases here where I have to make 6 variations of a single animation like I had to with Evelyn. That goes a long way.

My biggest annoyance with Primrose's scene is mainly related to her underwhelming home location. Back when I started this game, the medieval assets available to me were so limited that I was really scraping the bottom of the barrel to get new bedrooms for people to sleep in. Primrose ended up with the shortest straw of them all. Thankfully, the environment is so dark that it hardly matters in this particular scene, but it still annoys me. Don't worry, though; I'm not going to start over. It's just that the act of revisiting old scenes like this makes it plain to the eye how basic some of them were. Live and learn. Assets have come a long way since I started this game, which bodes well for my next title.

And that's all for this time. I'm looking forward to a week of not being sick.

Until next time!
